Solihull Moors 0-0 Blackpool: Seasiders avoid FA Cup upset but unable to stop ti...

Here's how Pool's players rated:

Mark Howard - 6

Made a couple of routine first-half saves and claimed some difficult high balls, but otherwise had a fairly quiet evening.

Michael Nottingham - 6

Back in the side to face former team, defended well but didn’t do as much as he would have hoped going forwards.

Donervon Daniels - 6

Did well in the face of Solihull’s aerial bombardment and produced a vital block to deny the hosts late on.

Ben Heneghan - 6

Struggled first half, conceding some needless fouls, but improved in the second period against a handful of a striker.

Curtis Tilt - 6

Up against a tricky player in Adi Yussuf but, in the main, kept him quiet. Fortunate to get away with a slip.

Marc Bola - 6

Back in the team after midweek absence, got forward and supported well but deliveries were hit and miss.

Jay Spearing - 6

Worked tirelessly and made a couple of vital challenges to keep Solihull at bay when they were on top.

Chris Taylor - 6

Brought off soon after picking up a booking on his first start since the Checkatrade Trophy win against Accrington Stanley.

Jordan Thompson - 6

Had a tame effort at the end of a quiet first half for him, but grew into the game in the second period.

Joe Dodoo - 6

Hit the side netting early on and then went close with a near-post effort in the second period, but failed to beat the keeper.

Armand Gnanduillet - 5

Blazed well over when well placed in the first half and wasted a glorious chance in the second period.

For Taylor, 64

Came close to scoring shortly after coming on but was denied by the onrushing Solihull keeper.

Had little time to make an impact but needlessly gave the ball away at times Pool could have countered.
